    Do you have any actual evidence to back up your claims? It's also funny that you claim that vaccinations is pseudoscience. When the people who are claiming that vaccinations cause autism are using fabricated studies as their evidence.

    What is specifixally is unshaky? We are seeing direct correlations between the rise of parents not vacinnating their kids and the resurgence of chilhood diseases that were hugely eliminated due to vaccination.

    First, it IS an assault on religious freedom despite what proponents will tell you. You may think people with religious objections to vaccination (one or all of them) are nuts (and they may very well be) but that does not give the government the right to violate their freedom to do stupid things. It's called liberty. You may not like other's choices, but you MUST give them the choice.

    No it's not. They can still choose not to vaccinate their kids in accordance to their beliefs. They just aren't allowed to send their kids to public schools.

    No one is facing violence. They simply can't send their unvaccinated kids to public school. They are more than free to home school their unvaccinated children and they will face no legal consequences.

    No, there are not "legitimate concerns" about childhood vaccination.

    Ah, but this is what comes from nonsense like "teach the controversy!" and from a mistaken notion that the phrase "there are two sides to a story" means that all views must be equal.

    I don't know about the autism claims but I do know that getting 6 shots in one day can be a problem.

    The autism claims were based of a study that was completely fabricated by the author.

    Thus, you are technically both correct. It's technically not a garbage character at the beginning of the stream, however it is unnecessary, and contrary to the way every other OS on the planet handles the situation.

    In the interest of keeping you from looking like a fool, can I recommend actually learning something about Christianity at a basic level? The old testament is the basis of the religion in that it grew from Judaism. But the new testament supersedes the old. It adjusts the rules of kosher and such.

    Oh really? Where did Jesus specifically say that no one had to keep kosher anymore? Or that they could mix fibers, etc.?

    I know, I'm asking you to tear down your preconceived notions and actually create an informed opinion about something, which is unreasonable and all. But you really don't know anything about what you're talking about. The old testament just isn't a big part of Christianity. Period.

    And yet Christians quote Leviticus all the time to justify anti-gay bigotry, but then ignore all the other parts they find inconvenient.

    Which is true. But here we are talking about tools, concepts and processes that are known to produce good results when used intelligently (or that should be known by anyone worth his/her salt in this industry.)

    No, we have a process that is full of "no true scotsman" defenders who do no introspection on why the methodology has numerous notable failures beyond blaming everyone but themselves. And I say that as someone who does like many aspects of Agile, but it is far oversold on what it can offer by its true believer priests.

    Old Testament is thrown out when it's inconvenient things like no shellfish, no mixing fibers, etc. The parts that justify bigotry, on the other hand, are perfectly valid in their eyes.
